I worked out of there for twenty years-when it was a 24 hour airport up to the last few years prior to closure and when I come back to HKG now and again and drive past the site, the feeling for me is quite eerie. The now total disappearance of R.A.F. Kai Tak and it's grounds, new freight area and all the buildings in that enclosure swept away and in their place, the remains of an odd concrete foundation and tufts of grass and weeds-it reminds me of the beginning of the film, "12 O'Clock High" where the former adjudant of the American bomber squadron has cycled to the base in England-after the war, to find the shell of what once was. That such a busy, vibrant place can vanish is very much a reminder of how changing and dynamic that part of the world is.
